How many times have you heard the television or radio alert, ""We
are now under a flash flood watch""? While the destructive force of
flash flooding is a regular occurrence in the state and has caused
a tremendous amount of damage and heartache over the years, no one
until now has recorded in a single book the history of flash floods
in Texas.After combing libraries and archives, grilling county
historians, trekking to flood sites, and collecting scores of
graphic photographs, Jonathan Burnett chose twenty-eight floods
from around the state to create this narrative of a century of
disastrous events. Beginning with the famous Austin dam break of
1900 and ending with the historic 2002 flooding in the Hill
Country, Burnett chronicles the causes and courses of these
catastrophic floods as well as their costs in material damage and
human lives.Dramatic photographs of each event enhance the
harrowing accounts of danger spawned by nature on a rampage.
Together, the stories and the pictures give readers a vivid and
lasting image of the power and unpredictability of flash floods in
Texas.
